Notes
'Mary May' rose (Rosa 'Mary May') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and cut flowers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The bushy plant has dark green leaves and fragrant red blend blooms that attract bees. It flowers in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. John Sheridan bred it in 1999.
Pairs well with Goldenrod, Jackmanii clematis, and Maltese cross.
